Fine mapping of QYrsv.swust-1BL for resistance to stripe rust in durum wheat Svevo

Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a serious disease that affects wheat worldwide. There is a great need to develop cultivars with combinations of all-stage resistance (ASR) and adult-plant resistance (APR) genes for sustainable control of the disease. QYrsv.swust-1BL in the Italian durum wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum) cultivar Svevo is effective against Pst races in China and Israel, and the gene has been previously mapped to the long arm of chromosome 1B. The gene is flanked by SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers IWB5732 and IWB4839 (0.75 cM). In the present study, we used high-density 660K SNP array genotyping and the phenotypes of 137 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) to fine map the QYrsv.swust-1BL locus within a 1.066 Mb region in durum wheat Svevo (RefSeq Rel. 1.0) on chromosome arm 1BL. The identified 1.066 Mb region overlaps with a previously described map of Yr29/QYr.ucw-1BL, a stripe rust APR gene. Twenty-five candidate genes for QYrsv.swut-1BL were identified through comparing polymorphic genes within the 1.066 Mb region in the resistant cultivar. SNP markers were selected and converted to Kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (KASP) markers. Five KASP markers based on SNP were validated in a F2 and F2:3 breeding population, providing further compelling evidence for the significant effects of QYrsv.swut-1BL. These markers should be useful in marker-assisted selection for incorporating Yr29/QYrsv.swust-1BL into new durum and common wheat cultivars for resistance to stripe rust.


Introduction
Wheat is a widely cultivated grain crop and is critical for global food security.Thus, it is important to limit pathogen-caused losses in wheat yield.Stripe rust (Yellow rust, Yr), caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f. sp.tritici (Pst), is a growing threat to global wheat production (Chen, 2005(Chen, , 2020)).Although fungicides can control stripe rust, this approach can be costly and harmful to humans, animals, and the environment.The most economical, effective, and environmentally friendly approach to controlling stripe rust is to develop resistant cultivars.However, because of co-evolution pressures, race-specific resistance can be ultimately overcome by new races of the pathogen, often within just a few years (Beddow et al., 2015).There is an urgent need to identify effective stripe rust-resistant genes and develop new resistant cultivars.
At present, 86 formally named resistance genes, more than 70 temporarily named genes, and more than 380 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to stripe rust have been identified from common wheat, durum wheat, and wild relatives (Bansal et al., 2014;Wang and Chen, 2017;Feng et al., 2018;Nsabiyera et al., 2018;Gessese et al., 2019;Maccaferri et al., 2019;Pakeerathan et al., 2019;Li et al., 2020;Singh et al., 2021;Klymiuk et al., 2022;Yao et al., 2022;Feng et al., 2023;Zhu et al., 2023).However, most of the genes were overcome by the pathogen shortly after being introduced to commercial cultivars.Race-specific (mostly all-stage resistance genes) and non-race-specific [mostly adult-plant resistance (APR) genes] are two major classes of resistance to wheat stripe rust (Chen et al., 2013).Race-specific resistance genes typically encode nucleotide-binding site-leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) resistance proteins.These proteins can detect the presence of pathogen effectors or modify the defense proteins they produce in the host, thereby triggering hypersensitive reactions and reducing the growth of pathogens (Periyannan et al., 2013;Zhang et al., 2017;Chen et al., 2018;Marchal et al., 2018).However, many race-specific resistance genes in commercial cultivars are no longer effective.This is because amino acid changes in the effectors can help the pathogen evade recognition by the nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) genes (Chen et al., 2017;Salcedo et al., 2017;Cobo et al., 2019).By contrast, APR genes typically show more durable but less strong resistance than all-stage race-specific genes (Krattinger et al., 2009;Singh et al., 2011;Chen et al., 2013).Three APR genes against wheat stripe rust have been cloned, encoding proteins that are more complex and diverse than NBS-LRR.Yr18 encodes an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter (Krattinger et al., 2009); Yr36 encodes a kinase and a putative START lipid-binding domain (Fu et al., 2009;Gou et al., 2015); and Yr46 encodes a hexose transporter (Moore et al., 2015).Using APR is a demonstrated approach to developing wheat cultivars with durable resistance to stripe rust (Chen et al., 2013;Liu et al., 2018Liu et al., , 2019)).
The objectives of this study were to genotype recombinant inbred lines (RILs) used in the previous study (Zhou et al., 2021) using the wheat 660K SNP iSelect array, produce a high-resolution map for the resistance gene QYrsv.swust-1BL in Svevo with more markers, identify candidates for this resistance gene, transfer QYrsv.swust-1BLinto common wheat, and develop user-friendly markers for validation to hasten the use of this gene in breeding programs.

Plant materials
To fine-map the locus of QYrsv.swust-1BL for stripe rust APR in Svevo, 137 RILs developed from Svevo/Zavitan (Avni et al., 2014;Zhou et al., 2021) were used as a mapping population.To transfer and validate stripe rust resistance from durum wheat Svevo to the Chinese common wheat (T.aestivum) background, Svevo was crossed with Mianmai 37 (MM 37), a widely grown common wheat cultivar developed by the Wheat Research Institute, Mianyang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Sichuan, China.However, this cultivar has become susceptible to stripe rust in recent years.Twelve F 1 plants derived from MM 37/Svevo were selfed to generate 474 F 2 plants.Due to sterility, only 318 F 2:3 families were successfully harvested from 474 F 2 plants.F 2 plants correspond to 318 F 2:3 lines, which were phenotyped for stripe rust response and used to detect the availability of markers.Common wheat cultivars Jinmai 47 (JM 47) and Mingxian 169 (MX 169) were used in the phenotyping experiments as stripe rustsusceptible checks.

Field evaluation
In 2019 and 2020, the 137 RILs of Svevo/Zavitan were phenotyped for their responses to stripe rust in Yangling (YL, 34.292N, 108.077E),Shaanxi Province, and Mianyang (MY, 31.682N,104.663E),Sichuan Province, China.A randomized complete block design was used, with two replicates in each year at each location.For each line in each replicate, 25 to 30 seeds were sown in a 1-m row, with 25 cm separating the rows.As susceptible checks, JM 47 was planted in every 20 th row and MX 169 around the nursery to increase the pathogen inoculum.The YL site was planted on 6 October 2019 and 10 October 2020, and the MY site on 12 November 2019 and 15 November 2020.In Yangling, when flag leaves emerged [Zadoks growth stage (GS) 40] (Zadoks et al., 1974) in late March, the plants were inoculated with a mixture of equal amounts of urediniospores of Pst races CYR32, CYR33, and CYR34, which were predominant races in China.The fields in Mianyang were tested for natural Pst infection in these two growing seasons, as this region is one of the major Pst inoculum sources in China (Chen et al., 2014).The parents, 12 F 1 , and 474 F 2 plants of MM 37/Svevo were grown at the research farm of Southwest University of Science and Technology in Mianyang during the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 growing seasons, respectively.Three hundred eighteen F 2:3 family seeds were harvested from 474 F 2 plants and were planted, together with the parental lines, at Mianyang on 12 November 2019 in a randomized complete block design with two replications.Infection type (IT) based on the 0-9 scale (Line and Qayoum, 1992) and disease severity (DS) as percentage of infected foliage were recorded for each parent and RIL when JM 47 and MX 169 had 80% or higher DS at Zadoks growth stages (GS) 65-69.

Phenotypic analysis
Relative to the phenotypic scores of the parents and susceptible checks, the RILs of Svevo/Zavitan and the F 2:3 families of MM 37/ Svevo were classified into the groups of homozygous resistant (HR) and homozygous susceptible (HS).In addition, the segregating F 2:3 families were classified as segregating (Seg.).An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted based on the IT and DS data of the populations in the tests of different years and fields (considered as different environments) using the "AOV" tool in QTL IciMapping V4.2 software (Wang, 2009;Meng et al., 2015).

DNA extraction, KASP marker development, and genotyping the RIL and F 2 populations
Total genomic DNA was extracted from the parents, 137 RILs of Svevo/Zavitan, and 318 F 2 plants from MM 37/Svevo using the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method (Anderson et al., 1993).To identify closer SNP markers and saturate the targeted QTL region, the genetic maps of the RIL mapping population produced in the previous studies with the 90K SNP array (Avni et al., 2014;Zhou et al., 2021) and the sequences of closely linked polymorphic SNPs were used to BLAST search version 1.0 of the Chinese Spring and Svevo genome sequences from the International Wheat Genome Consortium (IWGSC) and at the GrainGenes Svevo Genome Browser (Durum Wheat Svevo RefSeq Rel.1.0), respectively.Svevo, Zavitan, and MM 37 were first genotyped with the 660K SNP array by China Golden Marker Biotech Co., Ltd.(Beijing, China).The Kompetitive allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (KASP) markers were developed from the 660K SNP map (http://wheat.pw.usda.gov/ggpages/topics/Wheat660_SNP_array_developed_by_CAAS.pdf).Based on chromosome positions in the 660K SNP map, SNPs within a more conservative target region between IWB8812 and IWB4839 were selected for conversion to KASP markers (Figure 1).The KASP markers were used to screen the Svevo and Zavitan to confirm polymorphisms before genotyping the entire RIL population.Similarly, before screening the 318 F 2 plants, MM 37 and Svevo were tested with the KASP markers to confirm the polymorphisms before the markers were used to genotype the 318 F 2 plants from the MM 37/Svevo cross.The design of KASP primers, PCR amplification, and marker detection were conducted following the PolyMarker method (Ramirez-Gonzalez et al., 2015;Wu et al., 2018).

Construction of genetic maps and QTL mapping
Genome Studio Polyploid Clustering v1.0 (Illumina, New York, USA) was used for genotype calling and clustering.Markers with >20% of missing data were excluded from further analyses.Marker binning was done using pattern segregation methods (Wang, 2009;Meng et al., 2015).The linkage groups were ordered, and nonbinned markers were placed in the groups based on their genome positions.The Chi-squared test was used to detect any segregation distortions.Markers with a p-value of < 0.01 in the Chi-squared test were removed prior to generating the genetic map.
Genetic linkage maps of the KASP markers were constructed using the previously described procedures (Zhou et al., 2019;2021).The likelihood of an odd score of 2.5 was set as the threshold for linkages between loci, and QTL mapping was conducted based on the phenotyping and genotyping data using the software IciMapping V4.2 (Wang, 2009;Meng et al., 2015).Mapping was conducted first using the BIP (biparental population) module and the ICIM-ADD model in the years 2019-2020 and by combining the data from the previous years 2016-2018 from all environments.The MET (multi-environmental trials) module was also employed to identify the QTL loci in the years 2016-2020 in all environments.The methodology used for the BIP and MET analyses closely follows the approach described in Zhou et al. (2021).But the mapping parameters were step=0.1 cM and PIN=0.001(probability of SNP to be included in the model).

Identification of candidate genes
The probes of the SNP identified in the QTL region were aligned to the newly released Chinese Spring sequences (IWGSC RefSeq V1.0, annotation V1.1, the International Wheat Genome Consortium (IWGSC), https://www.wheatgenome.org/about/iwgsc-2.0)through BLAST searching.This provided physical positions, reference sequences, annotations, and alignments of the polymorphic SNP markers.The SNP probes were also BLAST searched against the Svevo genome sequences at the GrainGenes Svevo Genome Browser (Durum Wheat Svevo RefSeq Rel.1.0).Annotated genes in the target region were bioinformatically analyzed using the NCBI (https://bl-ast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) and Genoscope (https://www.cea.fr/drf/ifr-ancoisjacob/Pages/Departements/Genoscope.aspx) databases and the Web site-based software FGENSH (http://www.softberry.com/berry.phtml?topic=fgenesh&group=he-lp&subgroup=gfind) for their putative functions and possible involvement in plant disease resistance to identify candidates of the stripe rust resistance genes.

Developing KASP markers
Using the initial markers IWB8812 and IWB4839 from the 90K wheat SNP array as the conservative flanking loci, QYrsv.swust-1BLfrom Svevo was mapped in the 1.855 Mb (physical position: 669,649,666 ~671,505,587 bp) region corresponding to the Chinese Spring IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 1BL chromosome, which includes the segments previously reported and considered as QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29 (Cobo et al., 2019;Zhou et al., 2021).By comparing the genome sequences of durum wheat Svevo RefSeq Rel.1.0 (the GrainGenes Svevo Genome Browser) and Chinese Spring IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 (https://urgi.versailles.inra.fr/download/iwgsc/), a nucleic acid database was constructed with the genome sequences of Svevo.The sequences of 630,517 SNP probes from the 660K SNP array were compared to the genome sequences of Svevo by BLASTn.All SNP probes that matched the expected sequences of the 660,683,255 ~663,334,719 bp region of the Svevo chromosome 1BL were selected.Similarly, in the Chinese Spring genome, SNPs in the 669,649,666 ~671,505,587 bp region were identified.Based on both physical positions of the commonly polymorphic SNP loci on 1BL, a total of 42 SNP markers were selected from the wheat 660K SNP array in the 669,649,666 Ã 671,505,587 bp region, from which 21 KASP markers were successfully developed.After confirming the polymorphisms between the parental lines (Svevo and Zavitan), thirteen KASP markers (A009289, A009276, A009272, A007975, A007979, A009270, A009271, A007972, A009275, A012891, A012893, A012894, and A012896) successfully distinguished Svevo and Zavitan (Table 1).A total of 47 wheat DNA samples, including the 2 parents and 23 resistant and 22 susceptible RILs from the Svevo/Zavitan cross, were selected to verify these markers, which were then tested on 137 RILs from the Svevo/Zavitan cross.The sequences of the 13 KASP markers are shown in Table 1.The SNP sequences associated with QYrsv.swust-1BLidentified from the wheat 660K SNP array are shown in Table 2, which were used to design the KASP primer sequence.When these 13 KASP markers were used to genotype MM 37, Svevo, five markers-A009289, A012891, A012893, A012894, and A012896-were polymorphic between the parents (MM 37, Svevo) and among the tested F 2 plants from their cross.Indicating that the markers A009289, A012891, A012893, A012894, and A012896 are useful in markerassisted selection for introducing the resistance gene into common wheat.
Multi-environment analysis of QYrsv.swust-1BLstripe rust resistance loci QTL for stripe rust resistance was scanned through all 13 KASP markers by the inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) method implemented in Ici-Mapping V4.2 software.QYrsv.swust-1BL was discovered using the BIP and MET methods (LOD > 2.5, P < 0.01).QYrsv.swust-1BL was significant for both IT and DS, with the highest peak in a 0.72 cM region.Figure 1 represents a summary of the analysis effects of QYrsv.swust-1BL using the BIP and MET models for IT and DS in multiple seasons from 2016-2020.On the BIP analysis, it has a PVE (percent of explained variation) of 10.43-24.12% in IT and a PVE of 9.32-27.34% in DS across 2016-2020 environments (Table 3).In the MET analysis, it has a high LOD score of 35.38 and a PVE of 11.68% in IT between markers A007972 and A007975.Additionally, it has a high LOD score of 43.53 and a PVE of 24.20% in DS between markers A009289 and A009276 (Table 4).

Identification of recombination events
These 13 markers were used to genotype the 137 RILs, from which 4 RILs were found to have only one recombination event proximal to markers A009289, A009276, A007972, and A007975, respectively.Two markers (A009289 and A007975) were most closely linked to the target gene on two sides and flanked the 1,065,719 bp region between the 660,683,255 bp and 661,748,974 bp positions on the durum wheat Svevo RefSeq Rel.1.0 (  QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29.Although the physical mapping region surpasses that of QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29 (669.902~670.234Mp), it is noteworthy that only three candidate genes have been identified within the Chinese spring reference genome (Figure 2).
An intrachromosomal translocation exists within the range of approximately 673.1 MB to 673.8 MB, while there is a paracentric inversion within the range of 673.8 MB to 674.1 MB.Through candidate gene functional annotation.Most of the candidate genes in the Svevo reference genome have high match scores, which refer to high confidence.

QYrsv.swust-1BL KASP marker validation
To assess the applicability of the newly developed KASP marker in breeding programs, an F 2 breeding population derived from a cross between the Chinese hexaploid wheat variety Mianmai 37 and the durum wheat variety Svevo was utilized.The developed KASP markers A009289, A012891, A012893, A012894, and A012896 effectively distinguished genotypes within the F 2 breeding population into three distinct clusters (Figure 4).The allele cluster nucleotide of homozygote associated with resistance for KASP markers A009289, A012891, A012893, A012894, and A012896 were identified as 'G', 'G', 'G', 'G', 'T', respectively, while the alternative allele had a nucleotide cluster of 'T', 'T', 'C', 'A', 'A', respectively (Table 2; Figure 4).F 2 plants and corresponds to 318 F 2:3 lines, which were phenotyped for stripe rust response.Among homozygous alleles associated with resistance for marker A009289, F 2 plants carrying positive alleles from QYrsv.swust-1BL exhibited a reduction in IT and DS by 34.14% and 45.24% compared with those of the alternative allele 'T', respectively.Progenies of F 2:3 carrying positive alleles from QYrsv.swust-1BL exhibited a reduction in IT and DS by 54.29% and 41.63% compared with those of the alternative allele 'T', respectively.Progenies with heterozygous genotypes for marker A009289 also demonstrated a decrease in IT and DS by 47.27 and 57.71 in F 2 plants and 53.80% and 46.92% in F 2:3 lines compared with those of the alternative allele 'T', respectively.Conversely, progenies carrying alternative alleles from Mianmai 37 showed an increase in IT and DS.The phenotypes of F 2 plants and F 2:3 families carrying positive alleles and heterozygous genotypes with A012891, A012893, and A012894 markers were significantly different from those carrying alternative alleles, with a difference of 0.005 level, similar to the results of the A009289 marker.The results of marker A012896 in F 2 generation were not significant in IT and DS, while the IT differences in F 2:3 generation were significant at the levels of 0.05 and 0.01.These findings highlight the effective utilization of KASP markers A009289, A012891, A012893, A012894, and A012896 for markerassisted selection in breeding programs, confirming that QYrsv.swust-1BL is indeed a significant and stable major gene locus controlling resistance to stripe rust disease.

Discussion
Conventional phenotypic screening approaches have been used to develop cultivars with long-lasting disease resistance, but the breeding process takes many years.Molecular markers associated with rust resistance can be used to speed up the process and stack different resistance genes into a single cultivar.In a previous study, a QTL, QYrsv.swust-1BL, for APR to stripe rust was identified and mapped in chromosome 1BL in durum wheat Svevo (Zhou et al., 2021).By comparing the genetic and physical positions of linked molecular markers, QYrsv.swust-1BL was found to be in the same position as Yr29 on chromosome 1BL.
In the present study, we used the high-density wheat 660K SNP array to find more SNP markers in the QYrsv.swust-1BLregion and successfully converted the SNP markers into KASP markers.By remapping QYrsv.swust-1BL using the same Svevo/Zavitan RIL population as used in the previous study (Zhou et al., 2021), we added 13 KASP markers to the target region with a much higher resolution.These KASP markers were validated using an F 2 population of 318 plants from a cross of Svevo with the common elite wheat cultivar MM 37. The genetic distance of the QYrsv.swust-1BLinterval was reduced to 0.72 cM (Figure 2).Finally, we mapped this stripe rust resistance locus within a 1.066 Mb region of chromosome 1BL in durum wheat Svevo RefSeq Rel.1.0, which overlaps with the previously reported genes, Yr29/Lr46/ Sr58/Pm39, for resistance to stripe rust (yellow rust), leaf rust, stem rust, and powdery mildew, respectively (William et al., 2003;Lillemo et al., 2008;Singh et al., 2013).The genomic region between markers A009289 and A007975 in the Chinese Spring reference genome was found to be 0.569 Mb, comparable to the size of the region in the durum wheat genome.
Based on the results of high-resolution mapping using a large population, exome capture, and allelism analysis of a cross between common wheat RIL55 (with the Klein Chajáallele of QYr.ucw-1BL) and Lalbahadur (with the Pavon-1B allele of Yr29), Cobo et al. (2019) reported that QYr.ucw-1BL and Yr29 represent the same gene.According to the comparative maps and annotated genes, we hypothesized that QYrsv.swust-1BLshould be the same as QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29.The genomic interval between KASP markers A009289 and A007975 in the Chinese Spring genome (IWGSC v1.0) spans a smaller region of 0.569 Mb and shares four complete classes of genes.However, the 1.066 Mb region between KASP markers A009289 (at the 660,683,255 bp position) and A007975 (at the 661,748,974 bp position) contains 25 high-confidence genes annotated in the Svevo reference genome, including the QYr.ucw-1BL region (Cobo et al., 2018(Cobo et al., , 2019)).These 25 and 13 genes in Svevo RefSeq Rel.1.0 and Chinese Spring IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 are listed in Table 5, respectively.Ten annotated genes were reported in the QYr.ucw-1BL region between markers ucw.k31 and csLV46G22 (Cobo et al., 2019).As QYrsv.swust-1BL and QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29 were mapped to the same regions of the Chinese Spring genome, we found four classes of identical genes in these genomic regions.Thus, QYrsv.swust-1BL and QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29 are likely the same gene.More conclusive evidence for these two QTL as the same gene needs future studies of direct comparison of both QTL in common wheat backgrounds through allelism testing, gene cloning, and expression.The F 2:3 lines or later generation lines with 42 chromosomes from the MM 37/Svevo cross can be used together with the QYrsv.swust-1BL/QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29near-isogenic lines in the Avocet S background for such experiments.
In the present study, we showed that the common wheat Chinese Spring and durum wheat Svevo genome sequences can be used to hasten high-resolution mapping of traits of interest in wheat.We encountered difficulties, such as sterile plants caused by aneuploids from the common wheat and durum wheat crosses, when attempting to clone QYrsv.swust-1BL because of the ploid differences between the parental lines and the reference genomes.Therefore, regions like QYrsv.swust-1BL from durum wheat in this study should be assembled using the donor genome to enable the cloning of causal genes and to develop diagnostic markers that can be used in breeding programs.
For breeding wheat cultivars with stripe rust resistance, QYrsv.swust-1BLcan be used together with other effective resistance genes.The progeny lines with 42 chromosomes and QYrsv.swust-1BLderived from cross MM 37/Svevo should be more efficient than the original donor of durum wheat for incorporating the APR QTL into other common wheat backgrounds.The KASP markers tightly linked to QYrsv.swust-1BL can be used in markerassisted selection for speeding up its incorporation and pyramiding with other effective genes for developing wheat cultivars with highlevel, durable resistance to stripe rust.

Conclusion
In this study, using high-density 660K SNP array genotyping, we fine-mapped the QYrsv.swust-1BLAPR locus as a starting point to develop a diagnostic marker for use in breeding and to clone this gene.We mapped QYrsv.swust-1BL to within a 1.066 Mb region in Collinearity analysis of predicted genes in QYrsv.swust-1BL.
Triticum turgidum durum wheat Svevo (RefSeq Rel.1.0) on the chromosome arm 1BL, which overlaps with a previously described map of QYr.ucw-1BL/Yr29, a Pst resistance gene.The four gene families within the identified 1.066 Mb region, identical to the Chinese spring reference genome, have been implicated in disease resistance.SNP markers were then used to select high-throughput KASP markers that could be used in wheat breeding programs to hasten the deployment of these Pst resistance loci.
